Default Tein RS Coilovers

So I use my S2000 as a DD, and will be tracking the car 4-5 times a year. Roads in AZ are fairly smooth, just a lot of cracks and joints on the highways, but its not bumpy.

I have come across a set of used Tein RS, for around $1200. They have been off a car for the last 4 years collecting dust. I have been doing my research on the Tein RS and have not had much luck. Most posts are FS threads. From what I did read they were a good performing coilover, but tricky to get dialed in.

I was pretty dead set on buying the GtMotoring Challenge Comp + coilovers, but still considering a set of KW V3's, and maybe even using my contacts at Penske to build me something. However I really do not want to be spending the $1,800 plus right now for the KW and Penske's. I want to spend my money on a good solid coilover, that I can tune, and I really just want to get out there and run, while continuing to mod the rest of the car. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on the matter? I have done a bit of a pros and cons to each coilover, but that has not helped me pick a winner. Perhaps later today I will add my pros/cons list and experienced owners can help me to develop that list further.

My cars mods, plus future mods.

225/255 Dunlop Star Specs, oem AP2 V1 wheels----will go non-staggered 255's within a year
-1.7 front camber, 0 front toe/-2.4 rear camber, .30 toe in
Hawk HP+ pads F&R, braided lines, ATE fluid
Intake, header back exhaust

So my car is pretty stock for now, but I will continue to make mods to suit my DD needs and track day needs. The car is still split duties, and I feel that with todays products, it is possible to build a great weekend warrior, and still keep it DD practical.
